The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG—Stop in at the Plaza Theater, on Waitsburg’s Main Street, for a Bluegrass at the Plaza event on Sun., April 28 at 4 p.m.

This is a Touchet Valley Acoustic Music Project (TVAMP) concert and features: The Whippersnappers (Waitsburg’s youngest bluegrass band: Daniel Foley and Kate, Klint & Kaleb Kuykendall); KC River (Duet: Kavin Kuykendall and Caleb Shanks); Jasper Mountain (Glenn Morrison, Jimmye Turner, Carrie Hendrix and Kate Hockersmith); Switchgrass Delta: (Kaleb Kuykendall, Robert Walsh, Chris & Emma Philbrook).

“We have had tremendous support from the community for the upcoming Switchgrass Delta trip to the Westport Ireland Bluegrass Festival and wanted to say, ‘Thank you!’” said TVAMP Director Kate Hockersmith.

Admission is free and donations are welcome. Donations to the Waitsburg Resource Center food bank are gladly accepted.

“The historic Plaza Theater was originally named The Neace Theater and opened in 1929. It is lovely inside and rarely open to the public. We hope everyone can come out to the Plaza Theater for a little bluegrass fun on the last Sunday in April,” Hockersmith said.
